Haha I got the garbled hold message too... it kept going "BT, TalkTalk", and now I've got that in my head. Not very good advertising from VM you'd have to think :)

Anyway, all went smoothly and installation booked for Wednesday. I must add my thanks to DF for keeping us in the loop.

Ben is better around package pricing than me though! :D

Hi and just a quick question to DF (or anybody else in the know) with regards to the 500gb TIVO. I've not had any email yet with regard to pre-ordering the 1gb box, but was wondering can the 500gb box be pre ordered, when I finally receive my email, or will I have to wait until May.

Thanks in advance.

OK, so I'd like to get Tivo, but my better half uses quite a few of the features on V+ that haven't yet made it to Tivo, like recording to VHS/DVD whilst watching something different, reminders etc.

I also have a VHD (not V+) box in the back room as part of my VIP20 package, so I'm thinking, go for the Tivo deal and replace the back room VHD with Tivo, keeping the V+ in the living room for the time being. Then, when the missing features are added, or when the wife gets used to Tivo, switch the boxes round.

My question is, could I just change the two boxes (Tivo and V+) over myself when the time comes, or would it need another visit, activation fees, install charges etc.?

going of to tvio keeping v+ box and returning standard hd box, i have the sky
hd channels on one box.I asked these questions when placeing order and was tol my bill would go up from 98.50 to 102.20, how i understood all
the info on tvio for vip users the monthly fee was being waived. is it just
a case that they have to do it that way and the discount is rasied, the people on the sales line , and billing line did not seam to know any about
vip packages disscount. that is why i am asking you , as you seam to know
what is going on
regards

What it shows on my bill is the £3 charge for TIVO and also a credit for the charge.

Also in regards to the VIP50 charge I am still been charged £100.55 as that is now the charge for the bundle.

No, the 500gb can't be pre-ordered, sorry. You will have to wait until May and that box will incur a install charge of £40. HTH

You should be able to swap yourself.

Another question not sure if you know the answer , my parents are on triple XL mates rate package , can they still swap their V+ for a 500gb TIVO if they wish for 49.95 plus 40 install , they haven't pre registered however my dads in the same boats as many on here the V+ fills up to quickly with HD.
